Is it really an exercise class that pretends to do a spiritual practice and in the midst just makes a lot of money?
I hope not. Because I'm looking for it to change and heal my life in ways that I don't think step-aerobics, Jazzercise or the latest power-kick-boxing-spinning-body-pump whatever class could possibly do.
All I know for now is that I have never felt more peaceful than I do after a yoga class. I am in it for the long-haul and just can't wait to see what I discover next....
